Work to replace an aging bridge on one of Colorado Springs’ major east-west thoroughfares has been postponed to avoid possible creek channel flooding this summer, project officials announced Friday.

Construction on the bridge replacement on Airport Road over Spring Creek has been postponed until the fall of 2021, “to avoid the risk of Spring Creek channel flooding and washout typically associated with summer monsoon rains,” according to the project website. The project will include the addition of sidewalks on both sides of Airport Road. Crews will also deepen the creek channel below so flood flows can pass below the roadway.
